Buymed x Haleon: A partnership milestone in Cambodia. * 1 day ago Buymed Receives Certificate of Appreciation from Haleon Strong partnerships are built through the work that happens every day: staying close to the market, coordinating openly, and finding practical ways to move forward together. That shared approach was recognised at Haleon's Pharmacist Event in Cambodia, where Buymed received a Certificate of Appreciation from Ms. Katrina Mangubat, General Manager of Haleon. The event was organised by Haleon to celebrate the pharmacist community and pharmacy partners who help bring trusted healthcare products closer to consumers across Cambodia. For Buymed and Haleon, the moment marked another step in a growing partnership. The certificate reflects the progress built together in the Cambodian market - through close coordination, consistent execution, and a shared commitment to respond to local needs. A celebration of the pharmacist community. At the heart of Haleon's Pharmacist Event was the pharmacist community and the pharmacy partners who help connect trusted healthcare products with people every day. The event created a valuable opportunity to recognise the relationships that support market progress. It brought together the people and organisations whose everyday work helps healthcare products reach consumers in ways that are relevant, reliable, and responsive to local needs. Buymed welcomed the opportunity to join the occasion alongside Haleon, the pharmacist community, and local stakeholders. The Certificate of Appreciation added a meaningful dimension to the event, acknowledging the trust and momentum that Buymed and Haleon have built together in Cambodia. A partnership built through everyday work. A certificate is presented in a single moment, but the partnership behind it takes shape over time. Buymed and Haleon have worked closely in Cambodia to turn shared plans into consistent market execution. That has meant staying connected to local realities, working through practical challenges together, and continuing to improve the way both teams operate across the market. The Certificate of Appreciation recognizes that journey. It reflects not only the outcomes of the partnership, but also the way those outcomes have been built: through open communication, reliable follow-through, and shared accountability from both sides. Partnership creates the most value when both sides bring their strengths together, stay close to the market, and keep building on what works. Building from Cambodia, growing across the region. The progress made in Cambodia gives the Buymed-Haleon partnership a strong foundation for what comes next. Buymed and Haleon will continue deepening their collaboration in Cambodia while expanding the partnership across Vietnam and Thailand. The next chapter will be shaped by the same principles that have guided the work so far: a close understanding of each market, consistent execution, and a willingness to keep learning and improving together. The aim is not to apply one formula everywhere, but to bring the partnership mindset to each market in a way that reflects local needs. For Buymed, this is how regional growth becomes meaningful - by building steadily in each market and creating progress that partners can sustain together. Looking ahead. The Certificate of Appreciation is a meaningful partnership milestone. More importantly, it is a reminder of the opportunity ahead: to build on the trust already established, strengthen collaboration further, and create the next set of results together. Buymed extends appreciation to Haleon, Ms. Katrina Mangubat, the pharmacist community, and the teams whose day-to-day work has contributed to this moment. Buymed looks forward to continuing the partnership across Cambodia, Vietnam, and Thailand.
